How Do I say in Aborigine “It’s hot and there is a croc chewing on my leg?”

Location: Bathurst Island

The staff tell us that this is “croc country.” Yet, we have seen only one croc. The crew is more worried about sunburns and stopping the buckets of sweat from streaming down our faces. Basically, it is hot, REALLY HOT. To give you a sense of the extreme heat, today Kate cooked an egg on deck. The crew was skipping from shade to shade to cool their hot feet. Yet, the crew is not fazed by the heat. We are instead excited for our tour tomorrow of Nguiu. Nguiu is an Aborigine town in the Tiwi Islands. We are all excited to see how tomorrow unfolds.
